Bloomberg and Kaiko Put Licensed Data On-Chain for Tokenized Finance

Bloomberg and Kaiko have launched a strategic initiative to integrate licensed financial data directly onto the Canton Network to standardize pricing and reference information for tokenized assets. This collaboration addresses critical reconciliation risks and operational inefficiencies caused by fragmented data sources across institutional blockchain ecosystems. By providing high-quality market data for tokenized U.S. Treasurys and repo markets, the partnership aims to bridge the gap between traditional finance and distributed ledger technology. The service, which Kaiko initiated on the permissioned Canton Network in August, is specifically tailored for regulated entities like banks and asset managers rather than retail participants. This move follows Kaiko's 2024 acquisition of Vinter, which bolstered its capacity to provide regulated benchmark services. By ensuring that all participants rely on a single, verified version of truth, the initiative reduces the friction currently hindering the adoption of tokenized securities. This development represents a significant step toward institutional-grade infrastructure, enabling more reliable valuation and risk management for on-chain financial products.
